Cumann na Gaeilge i mBoston

The Irish language organization is now featuring conversation groups at the Irish Cultural Centre in Canton every Friday night, beginning at 7:00 pm. These groups provide an opportunity for those who may have had some classroom instruction in Irish to practice the language with native and fluent speakers. It is also suitable for people who have never had any experience with it but who may have an interest in studying the language.

All are welcome to attend and simply listen to the sounds and rhythms of Irish, learn a poem or a song and make new friends in the process. “If enough people participate, we will assign each one to a group according to level or degree of fluency. This will be an informal and pressure-free environment where the emphasis will be on having fun with the language.”

These conversation groups are part of the ICCNE and Cumann’s effort to attract new students and to give existing ones the chance to converse in real-life situations. After your language lesson, there will be a terrific session at the ICCNE Pub every Friday night where you can enjoy some fabulous traditional music and songs. So come on down, learn a few phrases, a song or two and meet some very interesting people all while supporting the ICCNE.
